Here is how it ends, because of the price of fuel and increased ridership, those who run metrolink decide to raise fares and cut service to cover these costs. Service improvements would consist of removing the durable materials from stations that have served for a 100 years and replacing them with very expensive modern construction which will look like crap inside of one year and maybe last 15. End result, higher cost, less effective transit. Least that is how the CTA would do it. Afterall, what are they going to do? Drive? It's just an opertunity to squeeze the ridership. |
